by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Meharry Medical College? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Meharry Medical College is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Meharry Medical College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $9,449 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,388/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $19,104 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $9,655 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
